Christmas Presents!!! Kris & Barong
4 Attachment(s)
Merry Christmas my fellow blade enthusiasts!
I have a couple of new Christmas additions to share for your enjoyment. |
Jealous,
I covet that Malay Sundang extremely. :cool: Very nice acquisitions. :) |
Ooh la la, very nice.
I also made an Asia-themed Christmassy purchase today: a Nepalese kora. Not received yet, but looking forward to it. |
Nice pieces. I LOVE the Malay sundang. The Sulu kris is nice too.
And the barong looks like it deflected 2 bullets. Looking forward to the kora! |
Nice. For the Malay piece, the pommel would be a later Moro addition?

On the Barong, the bullet idea is a real possibility as the blade is very well forged and the two “divots” would have been clear imperfections. The blade actually has a very defined nickel lightning pattern that runs up the blade length. Super excited for all three additions! Thank you all for the comments… Merry Christmas and happy hunting!!! |
I suspect the two bullets were from a revolver. Very cool detail tho. A very good Xmas present.

Jeff there were Moros and Moro trade with Borneo and the Southeast Asian peninsula, so yes Moro influence is there.
Also, the Malay kris blade is also typical form for Malay kris' as well as the pommel form. One more thing: did you swap out the silver clamp to the new Malay sundang? |
The pommel is true and correct for the Sundang, it is a commonly known style/type.
